Coach Sheya - "Prepare to Activate"

Sheya ChisengaThe Woman Christian®️ CEO Podcast Show

Welcome to the Woman Christian CEO Podcast Show! This week's topic is: Prepare to Activate Many people start a business because it looks fun, cute, and exciting. While it may be all these things, it is also a lot of work, commitment, and discipline. At the start of my entrepreneurship, I wanted everything to happen fast; Lots of clients, money, prestige, notoriety, etc. Little did I know, success comes with preparation and time. Bio: In September 2013, I leaped out on faith again and retired from Corporate America officially. I re-launched my full- time coaching business. In the beginning, things started off GREAT with me earning over $2,000 per month. Within four short months the money dried up, and I had no clients. Bills were due, and I was in trouble. I knew going back to a job was not an option, so I kept moving forward. I learned how to attract my ideal clients -those who were willing to invest in themselves. I created a solid business model that generates income consistently. Today, I develop my products, which include books, business tools & resources and I host MY live SOLD OUT events. My name is Sheya Atterberry-Chisenga. I am the wife of Terry Matikili Chisenga of 11 years, mother to Rose Kasuba Chisenga. I began my entrepreneur journey in 2004 joining a direct sales company called Warm Spirit. I fell in love with the idea of how they were helping women in self-care and finding their life’s purpose. This led me to become a Certified Master Life Coach in 2009 from Dream Mentors International. I launched my coaching practice in January 2010 without having a clue on how to attract clients and build a successful business. The opportunity of a lifetime came in May 2010, when my job of 8 years eliminated my position. This led me to go full-time into business, but I failed miserably. I spent money going from one event to the next and buying all types of business products trying to find how to build a business. After trying everything I could, I went back to work as an entry-level bank teller earning $13.00 per hour in August of 2012. I was despondent and depressed, but my calling would not allow me to give up. I took this time to start from scratch. I worked to become clear on whom I was called to serve and what solutions I provide in the marketplace.
